Concept
“A city is the victory of the man over nature and, as every manifestation of man power, is against nature.” - Le Corbusier
The battle between natural and artificial; organic and mechanical; ecological and manmade, remains evident and powerful. This raging battle is exposed to us silently everyday – this concept works to voice the environment and not only acknowledge but demonstrate its power in the form of a small installation.
In contrary to Le Corbusier’s quote this Folie design exhibits the power of nature and commemorates the natural disturbances which have powered through the site. This Folie design reveals the reality of nature fighting back against the artificial ‘victory’ which man has manifested over time.
